directrix y=16x^2+1

directrix

y = \frac{63}{64}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = 16 x^{2} + 1

in the standard form:

4 \cdot \frac{1}{64} (y - 1) = (x - 0)^{2}

(h, k) = (0, 1), p = \frac{1}{64}

Parabola is symmetric around the y-axis and so the directrix is a line parallel to the x-axis, a distance

- p

from the center

(0, 1)

y-coordinate

y = 1 - p

y = 1 - \frac{1}{64}

Refine

y = \frac{63}{64}
